"Abused", is an extremely well-written and deftly descriptive piece. This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review. I look forward to seeing your next post.

Abuse is such an important topic and more and more conversations need to be had for others to seek the help they need. Too many crimes of passion as you write about! You did find a wonderful photo to go with your theme.

Hello, you've written a great dedication to women who've suffered abuse. It is a sad fact of life. I think you have given a very poetic treatment of this subject. I noticed no errors and thanks for sharing your writing, Ana.

Hi Nassus, this is a descriptive free verse you've written. The abused can definitely become full of venom of hate and become no better than the abuser.

Hello Friend,
Oh my goodness, so tragic. And, yet, this is reality. When read aloud your poem takes on a very interesting format. It is as if the first two stanzas are the abused victim speaking, and then her abuser responds, "and I like that." Then the last verse goes back to the abused speaking to her abuser. Very creative. Sad, but very creative.

This piece is dedicated to the abused women whose stories I have witnessed before. Minimum punctuation, no capitalization, no attempt at rhyming, just letting the words rush over you, getting inside the head of an abused woman.'How I respect you for this. It is really first class writing and so moving as a woman who has suffered this I salute you well done excellent work kindest regards Meia xx

Amen to this.... for those of us who have endured that type of man who spoils it all for the nice guys... your words are anguish and hurt, raw and truth all mixed up together, and it is true about them creating monsters... us, who are left to heal and try to find a new life that is worth living! Fine job, good picture....

What a very well written piece on such a serious subject. Being so serious, I liked how this did not rhyme and how punctuation was not so important. It made the subject matter shine out all the more. The last stanza wraps it up perfectly.

I found this to be a very captivating work, very well presented in all ways, The opening photograph creates an immediate grip on the reader and holds on strongly throughout! The dialog is powerful and gripping with strong emotion. I cannot offer anything to improve this work in any way and thank this author for a fine read! HIS GRAYNESS; Vance
